About
The American Heart Association is the nation's oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. To improve the lives of all Americans, we provide public health education in a variety of ways. We're the nation's leader in CPR education training. We help people understand the importance of healthy lifestyle choices. We provide science-based treatment guidelines to healthcare professionals to help them provide quality care to their patients. We educate lawmakers, policymakers and the public as we advocate for changes to protect and improve the health of our communities.
Leadership for our CE program is provided by science, research, and education staff/volunteers. Direct responsibility for seeking and maintaining AHA's CME/CE accreditations is assigned to the 9 AHA staff in the Professional Education Department within the Office of Science Operations (OSO) at National Center headquarters.
